Without time to rest, Yu Wei led a team and quickly left with Lin Gu, leaving the cleanup work to others.

Rushing to the air-raid shelter as fast as he could, Yu Wei's legs buckled and he almost lost his footing.

The tightly closed door of the air-raid shelter was opened, and a small body was hanging on the door, already lifeless.

"Hold on, brother!"

Lin Gu waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him nodded, jumping into the air-raid shelter one after another.

The peace was disrupted. The rebels, who were burning, killing, robbing and looting, obviously did not expect to be surrounded. Before they could fight back, they were mercilessly shot through by bullets.

The narrow corridor was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, and corpses of various deaths were scattered everywhere. Lin Gu grabbed Yu Wei's arm, trying to keep him from falling.

The once neatly arranged food was scattered all over the ground, the drinking water bottles were pierced, and clean water mixed with blood flowed over every inch of land. The naked people did not have time to find clothes, hurriedly got up, and huddled in a corner, sobbing.

"General? You...you've finally arrived." The scarred man clutched his stomach, forcing himself to lift his head. Seeing Yu Wei being helped up, he struggled to his feet. "You...you're injured? Which bastard...hiss...hit you?"

"I'm fine."

Yu Wei shook his head, quickly walked to his side, asked Lin Gu to help hold him down, picked up the half-empty bottle of liquor from under the table and poured it on the dagger, tore open the scarred man's clothes, cleaned the wound briefly, then raised his hand to cover his eyes and stuffed a rag he had grabbed into his mouth: "Bear with it."

"Mmm...mmm..."

Large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks as the scarred man screamed incoherently.

The cold blade pressed against the delicate flesh, stimulating the nerves, and a chill spread throughout the body, making one tremble uncontrollably.

"call……"

Yu Wei casually tossed the bullet onto the table, slashed his palm, and placed it over the wound. The warm blood carried a slight coolness, and the scarred man blinked, feeling the wound heal rapidly.

"Alright." Lin Gu released his grip and ripped the rag out of the scarred man's mouth. "Were you trying to say something just now?"

“Indeed…” The scarred man spat, grabbed the remaining water and gulped it down, then spat out the mouthwash: “That rag, it’s… for wiping the table…”

As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned against the wall and started vomiting.

Yu Wei and Lin Gu exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned their faces away, both feeling awkward.

"I'll go check on the others."

Yu Wei was about to leave when Lin Gu grabbed his arm.

"You should take a break," Lin Gu said, gently tapping Yu Wei's head. "Do you really think you're some kind of thousand-year-old ginseng or ten-thousand-year-old lingzhi? Do you have that much blood in your body? Draining blood everywhere..."

"Blood can regenerate, but people cannot."

"Come on, take a good look around. Apart from that seriously injured guy, who here needs you to bleed them?" Lin Gu pulled him aside to sit down. "The medical team has arrived, so can you just sit here in peace?"

It's exhausting to have someone worry about such a grown person.

Yu Wei couldn't stay still. Before he had even sat down for a minute, he started wandering around and searching everywhere.

An inconspicuous notebook caught Yu Wei's attention. Yu Wei walked over, picked up the notebook, and Lin Gu followed. The two of them began to study it together.

The first page contains some markers and routes, as well as a safety assessment for each route. The second page is a list of supplies for the first trip. The third page contains many more route maps and markers.

The route map has two different handwritings, and the statistics are messy, but most of it is in one person's handwriting.

This is a notebook used by Yu Wei, Meng Duo, and Scarface to exchange information, and it is kept by Meng Duo most of the time.

"Huh, why is this place so messy? There seem to be some words on it."

Lin Gu found some ink and sprinkled it on the paper, then used the scanner that came with the communicator to translate the text.

"First of all, I want to say sorry to everyone, especially you—Yu Wei. I deceived you and took advantage of your trust in me."

"Amazing! As a leader, he didn't reveal your location." Lin Gu patted Yu Wei on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up: "Old Yu, you're amazing! Your personal charm is enough to captivate countless men and women."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Yu Wei put away his notebook, glanced at Lin Gu, and unusually refrained from arguing with him. "It's not a problem with my charm, it's his own fault."

No one wanted war, neither he, nor Lin, nor Mondo and Essen.

Only rulers need war; they need to fight for power, gain prestige, and status through war.

"This battle won't be easy," Lin Gu sighed, leaning against the wall and lighting a cigarette. "I've been thinking about something lately."

"What?"

"If I kill the rebel leader, will the war end?"

"But we don't even know if the other party is male or female, what they look like, or where their hideout is."

“Yes.” Lin Gu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled a smoke ring. “We don’t know anything.”

"Nothing was found?"

"Headquarters found some things from Cen Jin, but they're not very useful." Lin Gu stubbed out his cigarette, turned to look at Yu Wei, and said in a deep voice, "If I betray you one day, will you kill me?"

“Yes.” Yu Wei nodded without hesitation, then turned to meet Lin Gu’s eyes. “I will kill you with my own hands.”

"You're so heartless." Lin Gu pouted, pointing at his fingers and complaining, "Look at you, so cold-blooded and ruthless, you even killed your best friend who you grew up with. I really misjudged you, sob sob..."

"Stop crying. If you dare betray me, I'll chop you into a human stick." Yu Wei threw the half-smoked cigarette in Lin Gu's hand on the ground and stomped on it. "Smoke less, or you'll get lung disease."
